Analogy I used today while attempting to purple/orange pill my sister. Obviously not a new analogy but figured I would share because it really made it click for her:

Nostr and Bitcoin are both designed like public utilities. One is a pipeline for communication and the other is a pipeline for payments. So if you imagine the internet as like a city, there are these two free to use pipes running down each street that anyone can use and nobody owns or controls. You want to build a building (app) that needs social communication and some sort of value transmission, you can plug into those pipes. The people in the building do not need to be aware of or understand the pipes.
